Domaine de la Rochelierre - Fitou[wrochelierre]

Domaine
de la Rochelierre

For more than 30 years, the Domaine de la Rochelierre in Fitou has applied the Cousinié method to its 15-hectare vineyard. This method consists of using only organic and mineral materials to concentrate with "respect for the living". A lot of soil is added with more than a dozen plows per year, so that the roots go deep and the stem is less sensitive to temperature and hydrometric variations. Regarding the harvest, the Fabre family harvest the grapes by hand, and at the best moment of ripeness, so that it gives a very interesting balance.

Nowadays, Jean-Marie and Emilie Fabre vinify their entire production in stainless steel barrels, so that the best fermentation can be managed and maximum aromas can be preserved. The wines are then, according to the cuvées, either grown in barrels to preserve all youth and the purity of the aromas in barrels, with the aim of allowing the tannins and aromas to mature in order to achieve more
faster roundness...

Domaine de La Rochelierre has been part of the large family of independent winemakers in France for decades. In this way the Fabre family strives to come closer and closer to the consumer and her expectations.

Domaine de La Rochelierre was in the heart of the village of Fitou, but as many of you have already discovered, we are also showing at exhibitions in Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Clermont-Ferrand, Colmar, Paris or Luxembourg and welcome you now in a new
modern cave on the edge of the village. Our distribution network is gradually growing and our wines are getting closer to our customers.

It is quite possible to come spontaneously as a private person or as a group during opening hours, but we strongly recommend that you make a reservation. Maximum 40 people.

The first "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" wine of Languedoc-Roussillon, is only produced in nine small communal areas: FITOU, Caves, Treilles, Leucate and La Palme, which are all beside the sea, between Narbonne and Perpignan, and Cascastel, Paziols, Tuchan, and Villeneuve in the Corbières-Massif. Documents going back as far as Philip Augustus, Louis XIII and Louis XIV bear witness to the long-standing reputation of Fitou wines.Rabelais particularly appreciated "vin de Palme" which now has the "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Fitou" label. he vineyards in Fitou are set out on shaly and argilocalcareous soils with exceptional exposure to the sun.

Muscats du Languedoc

Muscat de Rivesaltes is an appellation for the historic vins doux naturels from a relatively large area of Roussillon, in southern France, covering a total of 99 communes, and the majority of the Pyrenees-Orientales administrative departement. It is the largest single sweet wine appellation in France. Muscat de Rivesaltes wines are made predominantly from Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains and Muscat d'Alexandrie in varying ratios, according to the style desired by the individual producer. Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains is used to bring aromas of exotic and citrus fruits while Muscat d'Alexandrie brings a deeper bouquet of white flowers and ripe stone fruit. Collectively the wines show aromas of peach, lemon, mango and occasionally fresher, herbaceous notes like mint. These aromas all change with ageing, (which take place mostly in the bottle to preserve the fresher aromas) and the wines take on aromas of honey and baked stone fruits...

Château Féodal de Fitou

Fitou castle is a small, stone castle high on the hill
above the village of Fitou, known in Europe for his wine. The village itself has
dramatically changed last years, as the wines from the Fitou appellation got a
better name, and more and more people from the North of France and even Germany,
Switzerland or England, bought the houses in the region known for its beauty,
closeness to the Mediterranean Sea and a nice climate. Several tiny town houses
in Fitou have been nicely restored. You may see them walking through the village
up to the castle. The castle’s museum, a slightly home made, may be attractive
to visit by small children. They should not look only too close at the torture
instruments. Still, they might like everyday court scenes and the alchemist’s
workshop....
